In most cases, our engineers log into Mon and use the "host disable"
or "service disable" to stop montoring the stuff that's about to go
down, and re-enable them when the maintenance is over.

Sometimes, we just ACK whatever's broken when Mon starts alarming.

If I had a really big planned outage I would comment out big chunks of
the config file and restore it after the window.

You are - look up "reset Mon" in the CGI or the API.  You can also
send Mon a HUP signal to make it reload its config.
